Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3136808, member: 9358"] They have the whole plan and youth policy completely wrong and they are so far into it that they can’t turn back and admit they’ve fucked up. All they had to do is keep the high priority ones who you know are going to be superstars such as Staggs, Haas and Fifita and then just build around them. You’d keep Carrigan as the workhorse and glue to solidify the forward pack and have him as the future captain. You also wouldn’t have to break the bank for him. Then in regards to Lodge, TPJ, Flegler, etc, if you had to over pay to keep them, you could let them walk. TPJ is the Milford of the forward pack, shows up 1 in 4 games and that’s only if he ain’t suspended. Lodge is someone you keep around and he will develop into that forward leader but considering we threw him a lifeline and what he can currently offer, he is not someone who should be on huge money. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we should never have signed Bird. At his salary, he was only ever a luxury buy. That money was better spent elsewhere on a fullback or hooker especially when you look at our piss poor quality and depth in those areas. Yet we spent $700,000 on a player whose main position is the second least important position on the field. It’s not like we need to go and buy a high ranking player like Lockyer was alluding to. **** me even just a value signing like a Shaun Lane or a Curtis Sironen on $300-$350k would be better than paying $500k+ for the myth that is Ofahengaue. For all this bullshit about taking 2-3 years to fix our cap, that’s because they are still continuing to overpay players on talent rather than output. [/QUOTE]
